Guy decked out in military gear, walks in and opens fire. Sounds like the theatre thing. I guess killing folks wasn't enough to get their gun control pushed through so they had to go after kids.
Unless you adjust that the country has grown from 3.9 million in 1790 to 313 Million today.
or adjust that the media in the 80s had more capability to report national than media in the 1800's
Your chance of dying in a spree killing is a lot less than being hit by lighting.
and you can also note that Gun violence has decline since the high of 1990's, the same for all homicide rates in the united states. Quit cherry picking.
I'm not cherry picking. Why don't you google the number of mass shootings in general that have happened in the past twenty-thirty years? It's a fact that the number has climbed.
As sad as this situation is, it can't be used to change our 2nd amendment constitutional rights to protect ourselves from the government, nor anyone else.
This is what we always say: It's too fresh let's talk about this another day and the day never comes!

This is primarily directed towards the liberals who jump with joy whenever something like this happens. Calm the f--k down, at least wait until the blood is dry before you set about repealing the 2nd Amendment!
The gungrabbers need to show some sympathy for the victims. Politics is for tomorrow.
So the people that support safe gun ownership somehow convinced these lunatics to pull the trigger in these atrocious crimes? I like how all of the people that are trying to outlaw guns have absolutely ZERO to say about the vile and mentally imbalanced criminals that commit these crimes. You would rather try to capitalize on tragedy and belittle people that have different views than you instead of focusing on the actual criminal in this case and what caused them to snap and do this. The root cause of the problem is not the gun or people that promote the safe ownership of them, its the criminal. As soon as people get that through their heads and stop trying to blame people that had no involvement, maybe we can figure out how to help prevent these kinds of attacks.
Well, until you folks agree to institute some stringent methods of weeding out the nuts with guns what else are folks going to obsess over but the weapon itself?
You've got your priorities all fudged up when you institute the kinds of civil liberty intrusions your Homeland Security is implementing on a daily basis but ignore all the freak'n nutbars in your country allowed/encouraged to have a firearm to express their inalienable rights.
